Speaking of Fleischer Studios (as I did in the post below), I love these Paramount publicity shots. Here’s a great photo from 1938 featuring Popeye with one of Paramount’s top box office draws at the time, Dorothy Lamour. Click here for full length, larger image.

(Thanks, Mark Sonntag)

Why choose Olive Oyl when you can cozy up to Dorothy Lamour? Avast!

A little close, isn’t he?

That is truly priceless!! I had the extreme fortune of doing a SHOW with “Dottie,” here in New Orleans….about 4 decades after this picture. What a hoot!

That’s one lucky sailor there.

If a CGI Popeye were done to look anything like the mannequin in the photo, it would be downright scary. Give me the hand drawn Fleischer version any day.

Where’s Popeye’s other hand? Hmmm

As a big fan of animation and the lovely Dorothy Lamour this photo is awesome.
